J.R. Aleorn 1943. Itinerary Tuesday March 9, 1943. Caught fewer mammals this morning. I moved the mouse traps northward about 1/4 mile and set them along a fence and along the edge of the forest and corn fields. Also took up most of the skunk traps and re-set them over a larger area. Wednesday March 10, 1943. Hubert Hall and I drove to a location about 9 mi. SE of Patzcuaro and there I set 45 mouse traps on a slope that was barren of trees but much short vegetation occurred on this slope. Small mammal runways were seen here and the traps were set in these. Forests of Pine are nearby and in among the Pine I set additional traps for skunks, woodrats and 3 mouse traps were also set here. Did not catch many mammals last night in the mouse traps.
